INCIDENTLY.

1t may be mentioned, that Mr..
7. l.. Fleming's candidacy for
Sheriff is something that puzzles a
number of people. 1t will hardly
be disputed that to hold an office,
a man must be q qualified voter.
The very first provision of who
shall be voter, as stated in the
constitution of 1879, is
LIST, He shall be an actual resi-
dent of the State at least one year
next preceding the election
at which he offers to vote.
Now, just how Dir. Fleming can
make out an actual residence in
Louisiana is where the puzzle
comes in. Failing 10 do this he is
ineligible, and then comes the puz-
zle again. Two solutions have
been offered. The first was that
his candidacy was in the interest
of Mr.. Mcclellan, that he would
endeavor to turn over his strength
to Mr.. Mcclellan, which is not
satisfactory, rs he could hardly do
that, even supposing that he want
ed to. The other solution is that
he is running to capture the rail-
road vote, fearing that vote
would 60 to Capt. Holmes,
and that every vote cast for Mr..
Fleming would be vote thrown
away, and thus weaken Captain
Holmes, and strengthen Mr.. Nc
Clellan, or that the w., S. &P..
was taking hand in this matter.
Now, we don't want any railroad
in this matter. If they are going
to take hand, openly, all right,
that can be met, but if they are
going to take a hand, secretly, it
would be we'll for the people of
Madison to know it, so that it can
be also met. Anyhow a vote for
Mr.. Fleming is vote thrown awav,
unless he can show an actual resi-
dence in the State, and that ap-
pears to he difficult thing to do.

FOR SHERIFF.

The announcements for Sheriff
have been made. The TINES is
for Henry B. Holmes, first, last and
all the time. Madison parish
never had better officer. There
is no criticism on his official ca
reer, both as Clerk of the Court
and Sheriff. No objection is made
to him as an officer. Any Opposi-
ton he may have is entirely per-
sonal. His politics are sound and
and his official actions correct.
What more does any reasonable
man wantp He is stronger to-day
than when he went into the Office
and the opposition to him is DOOM
ed to disappointment and defeat.
The Parish Item inadvisedly an
nounced that Mr.. Mcclellan "will
carry two.lhirds of his home ward,
besides having a large majority in
three other sections of the Parish.
The Item is not posted. This
ward is for Holmes. Mr.. McClel-
Ian can't carry this ward where he
is strongest, and it is not possible
for him to carry a ma ority of the
votes Of Madison parish. No man
mixed up in any red circular bus
mess can ever hope to be sheriff
of this parish. 1t is a hopeless
case and the effort is vain. III. B.
Holmes is the man for Sheriff.
His political career invites inves-
tisation. He fights no under the
cover fights. He is a warm, con-
sistent friend and an open, ardent
enemy. And more telling and
convincing than all arguments, he
is the choice of the people of this
parish for Sheriff. Turn out to the
mass meeting and silence his OPP
ponents with the conclusive proof
of his strength, aud nominate him
for sheriff by such a majority as
will leave no loophole for argument.
Holmes men to the front.

Four dynamite bombs were found
in the cell Of Louis Lingg, one OF
the condemned anarchists. An
other of the anarchists, George
Engcl, attempted suicide last Sum-
day by taking laudanum. He was
given emetics and made TO walk.
This led to a search and the dis
covery of the bombs the result.
On Thursday Lingg committed
suicide. He put a dynamite car
fridge in his mouth and blew his
face TO pieces.

object to this section OF the bill
because ! believe it to be clearly
unconstitutional. 1t being oppos-
ed to article 203 of the Constitution.
Repeated efforts have been made
at various sessions of the General
Assembly since the adoption of the
present Constitution, TO authorize
the collection of a productory, and
each time they have used with fail
ure from the general belief that
such an act would be illegal. Then
why at this time lessen the force
of bill that has for its object a
good purpose, by infusing into it
the clements of Constitutional
weakness.
In advocating levees do so be-
cause they protect and improve the
value OF lands. l therefore insist
that the lands and not the cotton
should be taxed with the cost of
their protection. The principle of
taxing products to improve real
estate is unjust, oppressive and
calculated to work great hardships
upon the producers
1t is an effort to transfer the bur.
den and responsibility of building
levees from the owners of land to
the producers of cotton. Besides
it should be remembered that in
connection with this subject there
is no provision for submitting this
question to vote of the people to
ascertain their wishes in regard to
this extraordinary forced contri-
button.
For these and other reasons |
hope the amendment will pre-
vail and the cotton tax thereby
eliminated from the BILL" that Mr..
Montgomery then sat down. From
this the imdression naturally pre-
vailed that he had opposed the
cotton tax, and, of course, opposi-
ton, would logically succeed by a
vote against it. Yet as a matter of
fact, he voted for the bill and for
the Senate bill, which authorized
the collection of one dollar bale.
The House amended the bill by
inserting "fifty cents" instead of
one dollar a bale on cotton. The
extract read did not define Mr..
Montgomery's position. 1t defined
his opinion but it did not show his
final action on the bill, and the en-
PLANTATION Mr.. Montgomery clearly
supposed that he had explained
the whole thing, when so far from
having done so, he left an entirely
erroneous understanding on the
minds of his hearers.
Therefore it is that, he is not fit |
ted for the position of Senator. \
Senator should be a man who can |
make his meaning perfectly clear,
and without any labored cxplana-
ton or redundancy. John B. Stone
is such a man. There will be no
such misunderstanding with him.
He will make his pOsitisn under
stood by every one, and he is the
man who will be something in the
State Senate. He will not be
simply one of the thirty-.ix, but
will reflect credit on his district,
and do honor TO his constituents.

FOR STATE SENATOR.

Two gentlemen are prominently
mentioned tor the State Senate
from this district-Capt. John B.
Stone and Mr.. Geo. w. Montgom-
cry. There should be no hesita-
ton in making your choice.
Mr.. Montgomery has served one
term, in that capacity. Two ses-
sions of the legislature have been
held in that time, and if Mr.. Mont
gomery has done anything to palli-
ate sending him back, somebody
ought to step up and mention it..
There are thirty-.ix members of
the State Senate, Mr.. Montgomery
has figured modestly as one of the
thirty-six. Beyond this there is
nothing to discuss.
He does not make his record q
reason for returning him to the
Senate. He is reported to have
made an active canvass of the
parish, and no mention is made of
his having based his claims for re-
election, OH what he has done in
the Senate, except that in the mat
ter of the cotton tax, he is said to
have claimed that he was opposed
to it; and somehow he appears to
have left wrong impression on
the minds of some, in regard to
his action in that matter. Of
course Mr.. Montgomery is incapa-
bic of making a statement and
it is unfortunate, that he has not
that command of the English Ian
guage, necessary to make his mean
ing perfectly clear.
When that cotton-tax matter was
under discussion, and before the
act was passed, Mr.. Montgomery
came back from Baton Rouge and
inquired around as to the senti-
ment of the people OH the matter.
He stAed, that, personally, he was
frank to say. that he was opposed
to it, that he did not believe il
constitutional, but, that he was
willing to yield his private opinion
and vote as his constituents de-
sired. His constituents, strange
to say, held about the same views
on the subject that he did. They
were opposed to it, generally. and
he returned to Baton Rouge with
the people of Madison backing him,
in his opposition to the cotton-tax.
In spite of this the act was passed,
and the taxing of cotton at fifty
cents bale, and land at FIVE cents
an acre became the law.
There was considerable oppo-
sition to this law and a meeting of
taxpayers was called to meet at
Tallulah and take some action in
the matter. There was some talk
OF an organized opposition to the
tax, and the meeting called, was
held on the day fixed. The TINES
Is informed that, at the meeting
Mr.. Montgomery stated that, in
order to define his position he
would read an extract from the
Senate Journal. He read this ex-
tract:
"Mr. G. w. Montgomery moved
to amend by striking out all of
section l0,a and obtained permission
to have printed in the Journal the
following:

The Legislature.

Now that politicians and newspapers
have had great deal to say about the
next Governor, and have settled down
with Nichols and McEnery, we believe
it would now be proper to think a little
of the next Legislature. The Legisla-
ture is the most important branch of our
government and little is said of its for
matiOn-fOr the people it is much more
important then the Governor who is an
executive officer, who execute only the
good or bad laws enacted by the Legis-
lature which Is in reality, is the control
ingspower of the government.
The Legislatures for the last fiftee n
years were composed of men who cared d
not for the public welfare, but were there
for Doodle, and the State has suffered in
consequence. The politicians are al
ways ready to sacrifice the Legislat i've
members for parish and other offices, be-
cause their direct personal benefit de-
rives from these offices and not in the
general welfare of the commonwealth.
Let the people understand that they rule
all governments, and when nominating
conventions are called it is their sacred
duty to be present and dictate their
wishes to the delegates and candidates,
and even to pledge them on certain ques-
tions OfimpOrtance which have for years
been at the mercy of politicians and ca
pitalists.
We say all these abuses and infamies
ought to be stOpped-and the only way
to stOpthenl, is by electing an honest and
intelligent Legislature that will enact
laws to regulate the officers, and not
officers to regulate the laws.

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning of disease is a slight
debility or disorder of some of the vital
organs, the stomach, the liver or the bow
els usually. There are dyspeptic symp-
toms, the liver is trublesOme, the skin
grows tawney and unhealthy. looking,
there are pains in the right side or
through the right shoulder blade, The
climax is often an utter prOstratiOn Of
the physical energies, perhaps a fatal is
sue: But if the difficulty is met in time
with HOstetter Stomach Bitters, which is
always effective as remedy, and it
should be resOrted to at an early stage
there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely Gu
red diseases. Far better Is it, also to
employ this safe remedial agent in fever
and ague, and malarial complaints, than
Quinine and other potent drugs, which
even when they do prove effectual for a
time, ruin the stomach and impair the
general health.
